February 15, 2007 the Social Capital Inc. Dorchester Youth Council will be recognized as the Daily Point of Light, a national award from the  Points of Light Foundation. The Points of Light Award honors an individual or an organization that is making positive and lasting difference in the lives of others. The program was reinstated in 1998 by the Points of Light Foundation, the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Knights of Columbus. The Youth Council will receive a presidential congratulatory letter, and certificates to commemorate the honor. They will also be featured on the awards page of the Points of Light Foundation website, www.pointsoflight.org. Sonia Alleyne, Vice President of Sovereign Bank, a funder of the Youth Council expresses her praise, “We are so proud of them not only for this award but for what they continue to do for the betterment of the Dorchester community and beyond. They are indeed role models for the young and the old and we have to continue to lift up our shining stars.”
